Asking for help is a learnable skill that turns stuck moments into momentum. This course unpacks the psychology behind hesitation, reframes help-seeking as collaboration, and shows you how to build credibility when you ask. We’ll explore timing, clarity, and empathy so your requests are easy to say yes to.

You’ll get step-by-step frameworks, short scripts, and real-world role-plays for managers, teammates, mentors, customers, and online communities. We’ll cover channels (email, chat, meetings), stakes (urgent vs. non-urgent), and follow-ups, plus how to reciprocate and close the loop. Expect practical wins: faster progress at work or school, reduced burnout, stronger networks, and clearer problem-solving across projects, career moves, research, healthcare, caregiving, and community work.
